Layered structures on Churyumov-Gerasimenko
The image on the left shows the Seth region on the larger lobe of Churyumov-Gerasimenko. To the right, terrace structures are coloured green and exposed layers marked with red dash lines. Towards the comet’s neck, the steps between the individual terraces become steeper. The letter A in the picture marks the original landing site for the Philae lander.
